Euronext announced on Friday that it had consolidated its position as Europe's number one IPO market in 2022, with 83 deals completed over the year as a whole.
Companies making their debut on the pan-European exchange raised a total of 3.8 billion euros this year.
However, this is well below the figure for the 2021 financial year, which saw a 'record' performance, with 212 IPOs launched and 26 billion euros raised.
In a press release, the operator points out that half of the IPOs in 2022 were made by technology companies, with Technicolor Creative Studios (TCS) and Deezer among the most notable.
Of the 1,900 companies currently listed on its markets, over 700 are from the technology sector.
The most remarkable IPO of 2022, however, went to energy group Var Energi, which raised 774 million euros on Euronext in February, for a total valuation of some 6.9 billion euros.
This makes it the largest IPO in the oil exploration and production sector in ten years.
As for the next financial year 2023, Euronext has indicated that it intends to relax listing conditions on the Milan side, with the dual aim of welcoming new Italian companies, as well as international groups.
